AC 3404 -the vision of Infinity & Eternity and that of angels and people

AC 3404 [2]
It is known that the Divine is infinite as to being,
and eternal as to manifestation,
and that the finite is not capable of comprehending the infinite,
nor indeed the eternal,
for the eternal is the infinite as to manifestation;
and as the Divine Itself is infinite and eternal,
all things which are from the Divine are also infinite and eternal,
and being infinite cannot possibly be comprehended by angels,
because these are finite.
For this reason the things which are infinite and eternal
are presented before the angels in appearances which are finite;
but still in such appearances as are very far above
the sphere of a person's comprehension.
For example,
a person cannot possibly have any idea of the eternal
except from time;
and this being the case,
he cannot possibly comprehend what is from eternity,
thus what the Divine was before time,
or before the world was created.
And so long as there is in his thought anything of an idea from time,
if he thinks on the subject
he must necessarily fall into errors
from which he cannot be extricated.
But to the angels, who are not in the idea of time,
but in the idea of state,
it is given to perceive this most clearly,
for the eternal with them is not the eternal of time,
but the eternal of state,
without the idea of time.
